Welcome to our live coverage - and here are some of the main headlines from around the world, to get you up to speed:late on Friday, the EU has appealed to him to reconsider and Germany has said it is disappointed. A leading senator from Trump's own political party and US-based epidemiologists have also objected.Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised the country's"resilience" to the outbreak as it recorded its highest one-day rise in coronavirus cases to date.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she won't go to the G7 summit, which Trump is saying he'll host in person at the White House and Camp David, who have been able to go back to the city's parks and for visitors to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which reopened on Saturday.

Not only should they follow the science, they should follow this scientist. jvt

didmiller That was clear and damning !

jmbgeog MidlandsSBM - this was what I was yapping about!

OwenJones84 You can tell the Prof is not a politician -,he answered the question

What about Labour MPs Stephen Kinnock and Tahir Ali? No witch-hunt from you about them? ScumMedia

Well said Professor Van-Tam.

Like what u said 👌

Agree fully, you also also apply the statement to unbaise reporting.

I can see you ...

BBCPolitics So Boris was happy to accept a pack of lies and cover up? And we are expected to accept it, sorry I have a problem with liars. And one's that protect liars with more lies. More commonly known as. CONservative. And what's more amazing is the number who accept them and respect lies

OwenJones84 Isn’t it amazing that the ONLY wise voice amongst all those presenting the daily briefings is from BAME community, the most vulnerable & suffering from this pandemic 🤔🤔🤔

As a self employed music teacher I am exempt . I cant be invisible one minute and then not . We weren't all in this together . Some of us were ignored

Any news on when CummingsGoing? SackCummings

I think he also said re new freedoms from Monday, *as long as they don't tear the pants off it* a fine turn of phrase nopantsoffplease

He spoke truthfully. I absolutely agree

BBC move on, this story has been beaten to within an inch of its life and then given a good kicking by story tellers desperate to say something - anything! Challenge China for killing thousands, challenge France for escorting immigrants across the channel - wake up BBC.

BBCPolitics The ONS are reporting up to 8,000 new Covid-19 cases a day SAGE experts are saying DO NOT RELAX LOCKDOWN R Number at 0.7 Johnson is now putting all our lives at risk with BLATANT ATTEMPTS to COVER UP Cummings GOING ON HOLIDAY to his HOLIDAY COTTAGE.. BorisJohnsonMustGo

Someone should tell rishisunak about 'for the benefit of all' and 'apply to all' in respect of the CJRS, rather than throwing tens of thousands of us under the bus. newstarterjustice

In my opinion e everyone has done what they wanted with these rules during lockdown hence you havevthe highest number if dead people from covid19 in europe and amongst the highest in the world. Rules should have been stricter.

Prof. Van-Tam. It was nice knowing you

SellaTheChemist “...and he was never heard from again”

a UK scientist showing a Tory MP how to answer the media via his backbone and not through his arse

Are the government scientist only allowed to give facts that support government policy ? So we not following the science ! Since when did you have the power to hire and fire .

A crying shame that his actual message - don't tear the pants out of the new freedoms - has been lost because our campaigning media want to talk about nothing but Dominic's Day Out.

BBCScotlandNews Please clarify your messages and website pages. Changes apply to England NOT Scotland. Sport returns: From Monday 1 June competitive sport allowed behind closed doors

BBCPolitics

D Cummings did not break any rules . Get that into your thick head scummedia.Even Durham police said so . No wonder no one watches MSM anymore it’s brain numbing.

Still going? No one cares.

BBCPolitics Speaking of lockdown rules, will there be extensive reporting of Rosie Duffield with hoards of journalists on her doorstop? She's resigned from the front bench but is STILL an MP and DID break the rules, unlike Cummings who 'might' have. rosieduffield

So that means BLACKFORD, KINNOCK and the now FOUR LABOUR MPs breaking the lockdown rules, the teacher that reported Cummings, no mention of all these BBC No hounding at their homes, , well we all know why . Biased reporting

BBCPolitics Yes, rules are rules...this MP has resigned from the front bench but is STILL an MP.

Read question - no DC in question. He didn’t comment on DC case.

KathyBurke Bet we don’t see him for a bit. Are they running low on people to put on the podium?!

At least Catherine calderwood resigned when caught up in her holiday home why can't the rest of them do the same. it's like they couldn't give a shit about British people who made the sacrifice to stay alive and to protect our nhs to them who broke it they must shit on your shoe

BBCScotlandNews Can you make sure it's clear that this is England-Only coverage, BBC? Confusing for your Scottish viewers as mixed messages.

Trick question to manoeuvre the answer the interviewer wants. Really low journalism

Yes and anyone who breaks them should immediately be sacked from the job right? 🙄

This is not going to end well.

What an arrogant basturt

...so the recommended Calcium daily-supplement is about 500mg or 750 mg.... but the Nutritionist actually made sure that she took 1 gm (1000 mg). So I do too..

mrjamesob Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.' - Valery Legasov , ChernobylHBO

WeeRed7 Johnson acceptance of Cummings’ explanation just shows how unfit he is to be PM.

BorisJohnson It's not just the fact that Cumming's should not have done what he did - it's the way it was handled by the PM & Cumming's himself. It was just farcical & it came across as treating us all like fools.

mrjamesob SackCummings

Big up to the prof - I hope his cv is up to date 😬 NotMovingOn SackDominicCummings

symmetrical, taking, tantalizing, teasing, tempting and wonderful. Very nice & effective music

Ffs boris sack the lying bastid,or Be the corrupt PM,who is keeping him as your advisor regardless of his behaviour,

I think he made it very clear he was appalled by the actions of Dominic Cummins

You just can’t help it can you !! You can’t leave it and move on. Pathetic bunch of wokesters !

Damming !!

BBCPolitics Brilliantly worded by the Professor. Gets to keep his job and make his point. Oh look and no issue over answering a question remarkably similar to that avoided by his colleagues the other day... 🤔

Take that Bojo,a kick right in the balls.

Local Authorities needs to take action without Gov' guidance with the public interest/acceptance, since Boris shows no confident in running his flawed team leading the nation into further dark times ahead...

BBCScotlandNews Now that’s what you call common sense!

At last!! I knew I liked him best for some reason!! He is honourable and honest!! Good for him!!

'The Prime Minister accepted that explanation' - It was 'the dog ate my homework' excuse. GovUK are accountable to us, not Cummings.

He wasn't clear enough here. He didn't state whether he thought the rules were broken. He could have meant Clear, for the benefit, apply to all and had a get out clause.

OwenJones84 noamchomskyT wrote “Manufacturing Consent” decades ago. It is utterly apposite today. BorisJohnson has more accurately been Manufacturing discontent as the ObserverUK poll shows. What price integrity? COVID19

Just telling it like it is. Thanks for the kind words.

Excellent !! So there mr Cummings and Mr Johnson - rules apply to all!!! Put that in your pipe and smoke it. No more lies please!

mrjamesob

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others - Napoleon in George Orwell's Animal farm. The revolution(Brexit) was won but the reality of the bitter truth is beginning to set in. We at Wakanda will be praying for you as you come to terms with your new reality

mrjamesob Does this mean that Emily maitliss will get a full apology?!

Oh God yeah, welcome to reality - sweet Jesus, where have you been? As a bonus, now the likes of me have to be sunk into taxes unto my eyeballs. Oh, and that digital chip up my A** for good measure (and tracking). How wonderful is life going to be!

AngelaRayner But he didn’t break the rules 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

In my opinion this man has integrity which is sadly lacking in BorisJohnson and each customer ministers

This should not be about what party people support it’s should be about what’s right and wrong, Cummings broke the rules and the Government tried to cover it up but failed, simply

NotMovingOnTilDomIsGone NotMovingOn CummingsMustGo

In that brief statement, JVT demonstrates why we can have confidence in our scientific advisers. Absolutely they can’t be political, like any other civil servant, but they must provide clarity on the facts and transparency on the evidence base on which politicians make policy.

Methinks Prof Van Tam won’t be at the Press Briefings for the foreseeable future. I may be wrong, but at last we saw someone prepared to tell his truth.

mrjamesob Good lad. At last, someone up there saying it as it is.

Well done, Prof Van Tam!

Respect...this is a gentleman with integrity and who cares for the health and well being of all people!

At last an honest answer

CummingsTheCovidSpreader

Thank you thank you thank you!

A50Challenge well the answer is pretty simple even for like of bbc britain constitutional principle of law apply meaning the rule of law applies to all even the f**King idiots in the RoyalFamily what alone the f**King morons in the Conservatives party ?

OwenJones84 Thank you Prof Van Tham for your integrity- really appreciated

Too right, get rid of Dominic Cummings (double standards) AND Boris Johnson (Hitler standards) they are both as thick as 2 short planks, it's obvious DC has a hold on BJ thats why a good BJ would make advisor DCome!!

👏🏽👏🏽 well said

Let’s hope JVT’s other outstanding phrase during the briefing “Let’s not tear the pants” out of the easing of restrictions is not missed in the coverage of his opinions on certain people breaking clear guidelines. JVT DailyBriefing

It’s just a vendett with you clowns now? Remind me, how many actually buy this rag?

What do you think

Isn't it time that politicians and scientists spoke the obvious truth to the British public? That the success or failure of our Covid precautions is in our own hands. It is not politicians or media who infect us or protect us, the responsibility buck stops with each individual.

BBCPolitics BorisJohnson 10DowningStreet I love this man!! Do not prevent him from addressing our concerns; we need the truth.

ginacannon Prof van-tam is the man 🙌

But for katesilverton to opine what he said was against Cummings, in tune with ‘public opinion’ was wrong. You’ve already been found ‘Guilty’ over maitlis. Try to be non partisan or you’ll lose even more licence fee payers.

Well done 👍🏻

OwenJones84 Pretty much what Emily Maitlis said - are the BBC going to censor this guy as well?

whether right or wrong, not just Cummings was it

I bet we dont see Prof Van Tam again any time soon after saying that

Professor Van Tam your my hero and I personally will clap for your confidence in not letting anyone tell you what your opionion should or shouldn’t be. Well done.

Prof Van-Tam ,well done ,you should be Health Minster who don't turn blind eye and cover up 👋👋👋

mrjamesob Well said that man.

Well how can a Cabinet Minister do as like when they are the people who made these restrictions legislative

Are you going to reprimand him for bias? maitlis

Most of British People don’t accept Dominic Cummings behaviour Clearly he broke the rules

I bet he won't be asked back :(

Warm up that Tower of London cell.....

We know the rule that there are exceptional circumstances and have always assumed it applies to all but if it needs restating then so be it ...

Surprised your Tory masters let you put that out

tb_doc He agrees with maitlis and so do we!! maitliswasright

Well said at last someone honest

Van tam thank you mam

Professor Van-Tam 👏👏👏

👀

Media Haters why not move somewhere where they have a better grip on media say N Korea? The occasional proclamation from the Great Leader will let us now what to think

Lots of bots here to report.

In other words, Cummings is off his Christmas card list. Another day, another Tory, another lie ☹️😎

Dump Dom

Respect Prof Van Tam , telling it straight!

Well said

So you will be apologising to maitlis for bowing down to ConHome Govt pressure when she did her job properly? Covid_19

Dear Mr Cummings...that’s told you!

mrjamesob Brave man. BBC should follow his story in case they try to get rid of him for speaking the truth.

Does the prof think Cummings followed the rules? The prof ain't saying. Does the prof think Cummings broke the rules? The prof ain't saying. VERY FUCKING BRAVE, Professor Van Tam, you said precisely BUGGER ALL!

DownloaderBot

SKinnock TahirAliMP vaughangething and KevanJonesMP all still have the UKLabour whip... Proving the rules do not apply to all...

Place your bets...

In 2017 Prof Van Tam also *repeatedly* raised concerns with the government about PPE for frontline health workers in the event of a major outbreak.

Professor Van-Tam thank you for your honesty

Keep retweeting this people!

Professor Van-Tam, high kicking the Cummings saga back onto the front pages for the Sunday papers... Yes!!

Journos just can't leave it

KingsmeadMrT The Tory MPs can see the consequences? 55 letters to ctte.

Clarity and the usual straight to the point response by Prof Van-Tam.

mrjamesob Honesty and integrity right there. Clearly not prepared to be silenced.

Boring

Prof Jonathan Van-Tam has been brilliant throughout and this proves it once again.

Your position on Cummings, dearest PrimeMinister, is much like crime in multistorey carparks: wrong on so many levels. COVIDIOTS NotMyPm NotAllInItTogether.

Well said..... he no doubt won’t be seen again at a briefing! Any new on What happened to our truthtwisters civil servant? Thank goodness for the truthtellers

Finally. Some honesty 🙌

So why were they changed from 'Stay at Home' to 'Stay Alert'? All downhill from there.

vicderbyshire Wonder if Prof Van Tam will get a chance to be included within another briefing!? 🤔😉

Your position on SackCummings, Prime Minister? Hugely unpopular, morally reprehensible, dangerous to public health and, simply, downright wrong.

what you are really asking here, bbc, is 'should people in authority obey the law?' - asking this question implies you think they should not.

BBCPolitics It’ll be interesting to see what DominicRaab has to say tomorrow about JVT’s comments marr

Great. Let’s fine him £100 and move on.

Thank you Mr Van-Tam. We need more people like you.

I guess if Durham police start pontificating on science and virology we should listen to them more than the Professor

Geetagurumurthy Move on. Sad depiction of a what was a national asset and has become a left leaning propaganda machine. Heading for termination RIP. Boris Bashing Corporation

It's the media that have muddled the messages

melmaycreative

Well done him. The only one to speak the truth

Won't see him again

JVT on fire

DafyddTrystan Please can somebody check that guy made it home safely.......

It's taken me a full week, but finally realised BorisJohnson has been attempting to quote Frozen all week, I wonder what he'll attempt next week letitgo

The one man I truly respect and trust throughout this pandemic, Prof Van Tam. Spot on again.

BBCPolitics No rules have been broken

That’s a yes then

When the prime minister said the other day the matter is now closed ..you get another one asking the question..unbelievable..

Good on him for preferring not to tarnish his reputation and instead answer that question. This is serious

Shame the other scientists don’t have the balls to say the same instead of being gagged by Boris.

Prof VT is brilliant but that was his last appearance... politically he is the unacceptable face of reality and truth which has NO place at the daily news briefing...

philmcnulty Won’t be seeing him again 😎😎

KathyBurke 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

try telling it to the labour MP'S

That was brilliant from JVT. “How’d you like these apples, government’s boy?’

Well, I for one enjoyed Prof Van-Tam's final press conference

On behalf of every decent person in this country, thank you Professor Van Tam. Very well said.

mrjamesob At last a govt advisor with integrity, independence and a spine. Probably never stand at that podium again but chapeau Professor 🎩

Well said Prof Van Tam, we need more of your colleagues to challenge this government.

Applied to all yes, but no comment on Cummings, ergo accepts Cummings was within guidelines as per PM ?. Media still have political knives out even after explanation and police statements prove there sensationalism was politically and anti brexit motivated.

Simon_Pegg ScumMedia

Fantastic van tam.👏👏

For God's sake Cummings wasn't mentioned police investigated him no case to answer.

Hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahha

Very well said Professor JVT! dailybriefing

Another pointless question instead of finding out important information for the public ScumMedia

There’s the face and tone of a man who’s advice is being ignored behind the scenes.

Wish he'd stop peering over his glasses like a gimp

Go Van-Tam. But I don’t think we’ll be seeing you at a briefing for a while now. Boris will have a gagging order placed on you.

“Look! Here’s a shiny thing!”

The Daily Briefing shouldn’t be used for this guff

‘..football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.’ George Orwell, 1984

Look look over there! Ignore the 60k dead and our utter incompetence! Footie!

Professor Van Tam has breached the dam

The government started the week by ignoring their own rules. Now they're ignoring their own charts.

“The people want to hear about more important news” IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?

Ok ... but more importantly how many have died... today

Bell end Boris wouldn’t of let him answer that

I have a Cumming plan. Footy ,

Shame

Nice deflection once again

cleary saying as in police that cummings did nothing wrong.

JVT is a legend

The propaganda is strong with these ones

When you say for free.... you refunding our tv licence payments?

Don't care. I care that you censured and apologised for Maitlis but you don't for Kuenssberg

OwenJones84 Do be careful. Can you print stuff like this without offending your precious “standards of impartiality”?

BBCPolitics The party for the few not the many.

Well said, sir.

Shouldn't he have said 'football's coming home?!'

💕 I honestly thought that when I heard this had been broadcast, it was a joke!!

AngelaRayner No clear to Angela though are they ? Where’s the outcry ?

The public will be at fault if there’s a second wave, not any politician.

'Bread and circuses'

mrplannings *Except Dominic Cummings

Can the public go and play football? Can you open up Goals and other 5 aside pitches in that case

BBCScotlandNews Interesting how all these educated arseholes seem to disagree

From the bloke that infected the Isle of Skye

Thank you Professor! 👏 You have integrity and honesty - unlike 99.9% of the Tory MPs!

And I think with that statement we will no longer see van tam again

AngelaRayner The PM accepts DC story so all you little insignificant people should accept it. Van Tam says rules clear and for ALL

Kudos to this man 😍

Another shiny thing to distract the masses, although it ain’t going to work - can see right through it

Will footballers remain 2 meters apart?

“And here’s today’s numbers.. Manchester United 1...” Suppose it might distract the public from how shit they’re doing everything and how many people are still dying

Wtf.. do they think we are bafoons?

OwenJones84 The Beeb creaming themselves over more DC stories

Well said Professor Van-Tam so in other words what Demonic Cummings did was WRONG. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Bozo 🤡 BorisJohnson Conservatives

OwenJones84 kerching

Bread and circuses.

The majority of people are behaving themselves. The rest are either selfish or want to try and change the government

BBCPolitics Well done the reporter that is speaking for the millions. ..and we'll done JVT for getting his answer in. Now the so called sec of state says gov is listening....sack Cummings

OwenJones84 Thought it was a good presser today. We all know rules are for everyone. That doesn't mean some won't break the rules.

AngelaRayner Van Tam is bloody furious with Cummings and therefore Bozo. The body language and voice give it all away. Bravo sir.

AngelaRayner 'Benefit of all' being the key point. You were never meant to interpret those rules to your own perceived personal circumstances. It was a national emergency and as such everybody had to conform, however desperate their situation.

Sir Patrick Vallance “It's not a low No. so it’s worth remembering that we still have a significant burden of infection, we are still seeing new infections every day at quite a significant rate & the R is close to 1' Sorry but we shouldn't be easing lockdown R isn't coming down

I’m guessing it includes these and all those out there who are going to break the rules cos they hate the government.

Bread and circuses in action. We’re not that thick.

Sack Cummings.

Frankly in Hong Kong many expatriates are staggered that the UK does not follow the approach used here. With a population of 7.5 million (10% of the UK), 1,070 virus cases and only 4 deaths Hong Kong leads the world in virus containment.

vicderbyshire And by answering clearly & honestly more people will trust his message. Its that simple.

Bread and circuses

AngelaRayner Just ran Van Tams statement through Google translate.

This is distraction from any of the following: -scotland care home deaths.(because SNP are remainders) -mps going behind our backs to extend Brexit when both Boris and Dom were sick - countries that have had better result with small lockdowns

The rules are clear and should apply to all. Punishment for breaking rules should be proportionate and should apply to all. Therefore Cummings should not resign.

We may never see professor van tam again 🥺🥺

Soot on. Nice try. Now ask a sensible question.

In my opinion, I’m writing a Tweet

Oh do fuck off. 300+ people died and we're about to have a second wave. Do people really give a shit about football (RS excepted)

Probably talking about all the SNP and Labour MPs that actually did break the lockdown rules.

A sage guy.

how come the womens league has been abandones 'for safety reasons', yet the mens hasn't. considering men are hit harder by C19?

BBCPolitics Worst Government ever.

The rules dont apply to all though, frontline and key workers have been allowed to move out of their homes and into other accommodation to isolate from their family to protect themselves or family to enable them to get back to work quicker. The bbc have already reported on this

I agree. It shouldn't be one law for Cummings and another law for everybody else.

BBCScotlandNews Jenrick get rid of them all..😗😗

Gotta laugh at the lefties wetting themselves when they believe they heard something that wasn't said, first signs of mental disorders and you all have the cheek to call us leaning to the right as mad hahaha you couldn't make this shit up

stuglow I find it hard to believe the government announcement about staying at home is still being played out..r Cummings said he did everything the government said not to do...yet he acted reasonably ...Are we missing something?

Still going on about this crap, Urgh BORING

BBCPolitics Please don't inflict GaryLineker on us I would sooner pay

But when can I hug my mum?

bbc5live And this is due to the government? Seriously they really do think we’re dumb if they think they can throw this into a government press update as if they were responsible and we tug our forelocks and say ‘thanks m’lud’.

Thank you Van Tam for agreeing with us .. I know cummings isnt going anywhere, but its a relief someone is actually saying the rule applies to all.BorisJohnson I hope you watched as that includes cummings in the rules

Including the police and reporters too

Anna_Soubry So the very thing Anna Soubry is promoting is that if you pay someone for an opinion it must be correct without question. Talk about double standards perhaps that's why she is no longer an MP.

👏👏👏👏👏

But the reality is, track and trace does not yet work properly and a significant proportion of the population are not adhering to social distancing rules so what has just been presented is misleading.

So that’s OK then! PeopleAreStillDying DoNotRelaxLockdown DoesFootballReallyMatter ListenToTheScience

So exercising with groups larger than 6, including 5 from outside your own household as long as it's non-contact is allowed. How does this stack up against professional football? More nonsense 🙄

The biggest Pratt today from the ScumMedia observer

👌🏻

Wham Bam Van Tam The Man dineshbhugra

Nice

fullabeanz BOOM.. 😀

Don't forget to mention Nandos. FFS. This Government are the absolute pits.

FFS - Daily Covid briefing is supposed to be about where we are as a nation in tackling this pandemic 🙄 OliverDowden

bbc5live What about the fate of the majority of football clubs, the 72 not the 20?

what team does Dominic Cummings support?

As a huge fan, I couldn't give a rat's arse if football didn't return until August or September. We are still counting the dead for God's sake. Peak 2 is on the way.

Let’s have some distractions!

Do people really have the spare cash to go and watch a load of overgrown kids chase a leather bag filled with air?

Who is this nomark?

The Premier League season could STILL be rendered null and void, if the social distancing rules are not followed very carefully. Or if a second peak arises in scociety which requires us to bring back full lockdown.

Game on.

BBCPolitics Oh wow! They've really scraped the bottom of the Ministerial barrel today.... 🙄

Tell them to walk away and join the independent group and not act as politician's shields, ones gagged at that.

215 more UK Covid-19 deaths, announced on Saturday. UK death toll rises by 215 to 38,376. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19

They’re desperate to get anything on the Sunday front pages except 60,000 deaths.

Love JVT. He’s easily been the best and most clear of all the advisers who’ve been on the podium

More mixed messages coming from this incompetent government

Boom.

What the fuck is this?

More evidence of how moronic they think the public are, chuck em another bone! It is beyond the unbelievable now.

bbc5live Some very decent questions today with no political motivation. This makes a refreshing change, please keep it up!!

Love that! COMMON FUCKING SENSE PEOPLE!! We all want a little freedom, but please please let’s still be sensible

Van-Tam doesn't seem to convinced either

BBCPolitics Good to know that the government's refusal to follow any scientific advice has now got us to the stage of just having to say it's 'very dangerous' since they're not going to fucking listen anyway

BBCPolitics Just setting it up to Blame the people 'when' the second phase comes

No scientist in the entire world would ever say they are confident it will work.. shall we lockdown forever? Italy is even reopening borders .. to everyone including the uk

Cheltenham horse racing to start next week perchance?

Shame...

As if a bit of footie and BBQ bribery is going to make us forget about Cummings and how this government has lied to us repeatedly ? Er no

If it’s a serious public health benefit to stay home and watch football, then why are we lifting lockdown and allowing barbecues?

Footballs Cumming Home

People are dying in their hundreds daily. 2.5k new infections.... And you are pleased to announce football returns... Just no

No one will want to travel to the UK - We are still the worse country in Europe! What makes you think we should open up! BorisJohnson MattHancock CMO_England

ie: when everyone learns to wash their hands automatically and doesn't have to be instructed to do so by the Government hygiene

BBCPolitics Seems to me that they’re trying to sort out the unemployment situation already.. easing lockdown and more people die .. not good

So get it right and don't ease lockdown with 8000-10000 daily cases ExtendTheLockdown

Look anywhere around your town, the lockdown has been eased & few are taking it seriously. Few wearing gloves or masks. This is on Boris Johnson who said 'he believed people will use common sense' 🙄 Meanwhile others are taking all precautions when going out. Or not doing so.

You get rid of the scientists and bring in some proper scientists that have no agenda To make the Government look bad, scientists that will speak the truth about covid 19

Let me do the Sunday headlines for all the media hacks : ' Boris announces free Premier League matches on TV, as a distraction from the Cummings affair '

Distract the masses .

So what

You do know that there are three other nations where the leagues and broadcast arrangements are different, don't you?

After this statement.....,When does everyone think grassroots Football will be back

I am very worried. I see people already pushing the rules by meeting in large groups and mixing households. Now the message from the Government is about lockdown easing they are going to push the boundaries even further.

Bollocks i would say!

Now that’s one way to finish sport off!!

piersmorgan campbellclaret mrjamesob maitlis SamCoatesSky No wonder they used Google mobility that only goes up to May 21st (before the Cummings scandal broke).... look what happened AFTER according to Apple mobility for the UK.... !!!

At the coastal resort I live at they have been open for a week. Warning on them only cleaned once a day

Culture secretary

Football without the fans is nothing.

BBCPolitics What odds can you get that someone will be substituted for developing a fever before the end of the season?

The only way forward here, manufacturing of disposable toilet seat covers. Everyone will have to carry their own packet, for use wherever. 10DowningStreet MattHancock

This message in earlier posts have been clear, most shops & businesses realise disabled people DON'T WAIT IN QUEUES, although one or two didn't get the memo! People have been primarily understanding & educated to know public toilets were closed! SkyNews thetimes Keir_Starmer

Waffle waffle waffle, didn’t answer the question yet again, how frustrating and tedious are these briefings?

Not the key issue right now.

Clear attempt to keep Cummings off Sundays front pages

BUT WHAT ABOUT CUMMINGS

No ideas why public toilets closed but how comes Marks and Spencer’s is open already ? RishiSunak Public_HealthUK BBCSurrey

Non-answer. Sheesh.

“Horse racing first out the gate.” Did he mean stalls? 🤭

Is he Dec, from Ant and Dec, big brother?

But what about Cummings

Bread and circuses. But without the bread ...

Quick, look over there!

Amazing you kill thousands of people & all the English worry about is watching migrant teams play football

BBCPolitics How the actual f*k can rugby players stay 2 meters apart at all times? Please answer that BorisJohnson OliverDowden ?

LukeJoycey4

This is an obtuse response to an important question. Maybe Oliver Dowden could come back with a better response once he's stopped concentrating fixedly on football?

And another new phase just uttered by Jonathan Van Tam-Tear the pants out of it! PressBriefing 😮😮

What public toilets? - Our local clowncil PendleBC has closed all ours down, and since the pubs are now also shut, if you are bursting, you have nowhere to go..

Asdas loos are open

How do you open public toilets safely? Anyone? I'm certainly not sure how.

I hope my TV licence fee isn't been used to pay for that crap so called football.

Why would you allow this much freedom so soon Why the f**k do people need to exercise with folks from 5 other households so soon? Vast majority of people are sensible, but this is a little too much too soon for me

BBCPolitics Don't you love Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, professional, clear and honest. Making it clear we are in this together

Don't let Cummings get behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car.

BBCPolitics Based on all that science again

😱

Why are there more people in parks th an in residential settings ? Is everybody sleeping on park benches ?

It’s joelycett again! 😃

215 more UK Covid-19 deaths, announced on Saturday. UK death toll rises by 215 to 38,376. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19

Ahhh Noooo, it means that Liverpool will officially win the premier league😫😫😫😫

Stupidly at its finest.

UK coronavirus death toll rises by 377 to 37,837The Department of Health said 37,837 people had died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK as of 5pm on Wednesday, up by 377 from 37,460 And an illustration of why the daily announced numbers shouldn't be used to judge trends. That number (orange) is up and down like a yo-yo due to the reporting system, while actual deaths follow very consistent trend. Breakdown to help explain how the number the gov't announces each day is calculated (like today's 377) and why it sometimes doesn't quite equal the individual figures reported in the media. 0.26% fatality rate.

The Mayor is working on closing the schools so the teachers don’t have to work
